Default hp estimate

so i put a slp lid and the lm exhaust and did the free ram air mod. i have a 02 ta m6, any ideas, close estimates. i'd go to the dyno to tell for sure but just don't want to waste money until i really start doing some bigger mods.
thanks

Long tubes for sure, you won't see the full benefits of a cam on stock manifolds.

i'm " preparing " my car before my cam, def. do the LT's first then get some 4.10's or 3.73's for the rear and subframe connectors. a cam is going to add a decent amount of power to your car lol and they cost a decent wad of cash, your also going to have to get springs and hardened pushrods....i was like you once wanted a cam but had no clue what one or what else was needed, but study up and read read read it helps alot !!! and then ask around and try to figure out what cam is best for you ( do you daily drive you car ? ) basically for the cam and springs and pushrods alone your lookin at an easy 700 bucks...and new timing chain....maybe an UD pulley if ya wanted...maybe a new oil pump...just tossing that out there so it didnt bite ya in the ***. oh and we can never ever forget about your stock 10 bolt.....money is speeds arch nemisis.

thanks for the input, yes it is a daily driver, has about 31000 miles on it,
so ok, i think i am going to pacesetter lt, and ory. i am getting a lot of mixed feelings on the underdrive pulley.
guess i was under the impression that a new cam was around 400, but if there are a lot of extra things you have to get that aren't in a kit i guess it can get more expensive, just a newbie on all the advanced stuff, learned a lot from everyone here but a lot more to go.

315-325. If your gonna do a cam for sure then wait and get the pulley when you do the cam swap, cause then it's a free install. That's what I did on my last car, and am gonna do the same when I order up my cam SOON!
